Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"Assassinated, Donggong is missing, please help quickly."

Zhu Yan took the blood book and found Su Rao. Su Rao glanced quickly and sat up quickly.

The bright red blood on half of the corner of the clothes, through the scribbled form, shows the haste and anxiety of the writer at that time.

But what is even more shocking is the message above.

"Where did this come from?"

Su Rao asked directly.

Zhu Yan's face was gloomy, and he unconsciously clutched the bloody book, "Three days ago, I came from the direction of Liuyang."

"Why did the East Palace suddenly leave Beijing and appear in Liuyang?"

"After the previous disaster relief envoy was killed, the crown prince went to the Shu and asked for orders to go to Jizhou to provide disaster relief. Counting the time, he should still be on his way."

But the blood letter clearly told them that they had arrived in Jizhou.

The two looked at each other.

After a while, Su Rao said: "Is there someone from the dark hall around the East Palace?"

Otherwise, this letter would not have come through the Falcon Ministry's channels.

Zhu Yan nodded and said: "The young master learned that the East Palace was leaving the capital, and he was worried that someone would do something wrong, so he asked our people to escort him secretly."

Unexpectedly, something happened.

He was restless and couldn't help pacing back and forth, "We received the news faster than the young master. If you wait for the young master to arrange people to go there, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"No."

Su Rao retorted: "Right now only Xichi and the others are left by his side. The situation around Tao Ding and Jimo is complicated, and they must not be transferred away."

Nor can the people and rebels in several cities be left alone.

"What should I do?"

Zhu Yan thought this was the reason, and said anxiously: "If you want to transfer people from other places, you will be delayed on the road for a longer time, and the East Palace can't last until then."

Su Rao's eyes flickered, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "Do I have to save it?"

"must."

Zhu Yan was slightly stunned, and then said decisively: "Young Master and His Royal Highness from the East Palace grew up together since childhood, and they are no different from brothers in terms of affection. Besides, the crown prince is related to the country and society, so there is no room for loss."

He was surprised to hear the question.

After all, in the eyes of anyone, protecting the prince and serving the country with all his loyalty is a duty that cannot be shirked.

Su Rao naturally saw Zhu Yan's surprise, but she didn't explain too much on this point. It's hard to explain the two people's ideas and education separated by thousands of years.

In her heart, the most important thing is the safety of the people around her.

Second, is the pros and cons of power.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she quickly made up her mind, "Since that's the case, why bother to look far away, let's go!"

"us……"

Zhu Yan was stunned, hesitated and said: "But the young master asked us to stay in Shangyi and wait for news..."

"He didn't expect Donggong to disappear."

Su Rao looked at him calmly, "There are only two paths in front of us, either we go out to save people, or let the prince wait to die, you choose."

After that, she added, "Of course, you can also wait for the news to reach your family's eldest son, and then see whether he will cut off his own arm or abandon the overall situation."

"..."

The corner of Zhu Yan's mouth twitched. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the choice of Shizi.

At a critical moment, he is not as good at making decisions as a girl.

Zhu Yan was deeply ashamed.

"The subordinates understand, let them be informed to prepare to leave."

He clasped his fists and saluted, took two steps back and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, "Girl, what about the young master?"

They're all gone, and it's obviously unrealistic to keep people here.

If you take it with you...

There are dangers everywhere, and no one can take care of him distractedly.

This is indeed a problem, Su Rao pressed her forehead, and said sadly: "Go and clean up first, let me think about it."

"Yes."

After Zhu Yan left, Su Rao stayed in the house for a while, and went straight to find Xiao Nan, who was still practicing agility while stepping on the Qian Kun Ba Diao Diagram, his figure was startled and turned into an afterimage.

Dazzling.

"Xiao Nan."

She called out.

The prancing figure stopped suddenly, and looked back at her with doubts in her eyes. Usually, at this time, she should be taking a nap.

"Come here, my sister has something to discuss with you."

Xiao Nan withdrew her legs, moved over slowly, looked up at her, Su Rao bowed slightly, tidied his messy hair, and said softly: "Because something happened, we have to leave here."

"This trip will be more troublesome. Do you want to stay here and wait for me to pick you up, or go with me?"

She carefully analyzed the pros and cons.

For example, the food and accommodation conditions on the road are not good, you will encounter danger, etc. After hearing this, Xiao Nan said without thinking: "Together."

After a pause, he said seriously, "I will protect you."

Su Rao was stunned, looked at him in astonishment for a while, pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Well, then sister depends on your protection."

Xiaonan nodded solemnly.

The two went back to the house to pack their things.

He simply brought some clothes and pickled jerky, and asked the butler to prepare a topographic map of Jizhou. After half an hour, Shadow Thorn led the horses outside the gate of the mansion. Su Rao and others came out and took a look at the situation. House, get on your horse and leave.

They left too hastily.

They left Han Sheng in the darkroom of Jin's house, and then secretly sent him to Shengjing. Shangyi City was much more lively than when he came here, and there were already people coming and going in the streets and alleys, so they didn't stop.

He left the city in one breath.

From Shangyi to Liuyang, you have to pass through the border of Jimo. The further north you go, the more refugees there are on the road, and the situation becomes more complicated.

To avoid trouble, Su Rao and the others had no choice but to take a detour.

Fortunately, the heavy snow stopped, so there was less trouble on the road. When they were hungry, they stopped to eat some dry food and dried meat, and at night they found a shelter from the wind to rest.

For several days in a row.

Finally entered Jimo County.

The corpses piled up on the side of the road were like mountains, almost frozen into ice sculptures in the snow, squatting or squatting, and their expressions were always frozen at the last moment of their lives.

After seeing too much, everyone became numb.

I can't make any more waves in my heart.

"Girl, there's a hunting lodge up ahead."

The shadow spurs sent to explore the road brought back good news. In order to save time, they took shortcuts along the way, crossing mountains and ridges without seeing people.

Not to mention Xiao Nan, even Su Rao and Ying Thorn were about to be overwhelmed.

"Finally no need to sleep in the mountains."

Zhu Yan let out a long breath when he heard the words, and said to Su Rao: "We can rest here for one night, and then go on our way tomorrow."

This route is rubbing the edge of Jimo.

Although it was a bit of a detour, it was possible to avoid the battlefield and go straight to Liuyang. When we got here, we had passed two-thirds of the journey.

Don't worry about the rest.

Only by recharging your energy can you better cope with the next situation.

"Let's go."

Su Rao rushed out first, followed by others.

As they approached the hunting house, they all slowed down so as not to disturb the owner. The oil lamp was lit inside the house, and the lights and shadows were graceful, shaking with the howling wind.

Added a touch of warmth to this silent and vast mountain.

"Call-"

Everyone got off their horses.

When the people inside heard the commotion, they got up and opened the door. A few bearded men raised their knives and pointed at them.
